I know, I know. You may not like form; it puts limitations to our creative minds, it’s a dull expression of literature, it’s a character strongly associated with old literature and not modern one, blah blah blah.

Yet, my friend, for a Pantun, its form is its beauty. Without a form, a Pantun is both formless and meaningless.

While you may have known that a Pantun rhymes with a-a-a-a or a-b-a-b, bear in mind that the first two lines are the preamble. The last two lines? They’re the essence of the Pantun. A Pantun reciter conveys the message through the last two lines. In short, they give an intro in the first two lines, but speak the truth in the last two lines.

So they’re you go. It’s not that difficult, is it? Now, I could feel you may want to have your hands on this. If you feel the inclination, please have a go. Those who could write a Haiku, I’m sure they could write a Pantun as well.🙂

Yes, you’re right. Absolutely. Hasie’s brilliant art gives another company to my work. Our collaboration has been tremendously great that we both cannot wait for the year to pass until we could finally have more than 100 pantuns for a Pantun Anthology. More on her works? Please visit: www.kofegeek.wordpress.com and www.kofeart.wordpress.com. Seriously, every second you have there is time worth-spending.

Ah, hahaha, thanks, Cha! It’s great to know you’re now a great fan of Pantun!🙂 I hope you have enjoyed all my Pantuns and the ones that will appear in my visiting posts! Thank you again, and have a lovely day my friend!🙂
